New PC Migration

[hawknerd]

I am about to get a new PC. What do I need to do to backup my old PC ED and restore ED to my new PC to make sure I have all my data on my new PC?

Your settings are either in %LOCALAPPDATA% or your Documents And Settings, can't exactly remember. You copy that, you should be good.

If you want to keep visited stars data you have to dig around and find that storage cache file as well...

There are 3 things you'll probably want to keep:

Bindings
Journals
Visited Stars Cache

Bindings are here: C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME]\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings
Journals are here: C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME]\Saved Games\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous
Visited Stars here: C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME]\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous

And do not forget your screenshot folder(s)
